Published in the St. James Plaindealer April 26 and May 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31, 2012.

Reviewed a request from County Treasurer Carol Johnson to cancel delinquent mobile home taxes on properties that she is unable to collect on.

Approved to cancel the delinquent mobile home property taxes on Parcel No. 20.900.0007 in the amount of $39.96 for 2009, and on Parcel No. 20.900.0050 in the amount of $55.94 for 2009 and $48.96 for 2010. The mobile homes have been destroyed.

Cottonwood/Jackson County Social Services Director Craig Myers was present with Human Services Director Rich Collins to discuss the Southern Prairie Health Purchasing Alliance, which encompasses 13 counties in the southwest corner of the state. They are exploring county-based purchasing and how services can be provided more effectively to Medical Assistance clients in rural Minnesota. Funding may become available for a project to change the manner in which healthcare is delivered to clients, involving providers in the service process to reduce costs for targeted illnesses or conditions. The Alliance plans to have joint powers agreements in place by August, and invited Watonwan County to become a member. It was noted that due to location, many of their services are provided out of the Sanford Health system, whereas Watonwan County tends to receive more services through the Mayo Health System.

Approved the training request of Gary Menssen.

Emergency Management Director Julie Peterson, I.S. Director Greg Walsh and St. James Police Chief Mark Carvatt, were present for a webcast on the CodeRED Weather Warning component presented by Brian Choyka. The City of Madelia had expressed interest in the weather option, but Carvatt stated that the City of St. James did not have it in their 2012 budget. It was noted that the advantages of the weather warning service are that it is more targeted to specific locations, and the speed in which the notifications take place. They are offering CodeRED Weather Warning for half price at $1,969 prorated through the end of 2012 and again for the full year in 2013. The Board discussed purchasing the CodeRED Weather component for the remainder of the year and to ask the City of St. James to participate for 2013.

Approved purchasing the CodeRED Weather Warning at the discounted rate of $1,969/year prorated through the end of 2012 and for 2013.
